Thanks for your reply. I looked at the tape over again on a 19" square
TV, and the only part that even gets closed to being clipped off is
the far right edge of the client's logo. It's all there, but is right
to the limit on that side. Other than that, everything looks fairly
centered. I usually record to this 19" square screen TV and as I'm
working on things that go to videotape, I try to make sure that
everything is centered properly by having the image on the screen as
I'm working. That way I can also check for weird colors, etc. You
mention a 13" TV — gee, can't find one of those around anywhere! I'm
going to have to trust that the client's studio will indeed let me
know if the Targa thing should be done, but I was quite thrown off by
the fact that they can't do the dub themselves. This sent up a red
flag. This animation, although very short, will make a nice portfolio
piece when recorded off the TV program. I hope it doesn't end up on
the cutting room floor, although the client told me that they
definitely want to use it. So we'll see. My concerns are that when
broadcast, something will get clipped off, or the quality will be poor
and grainy. I only wish I had been told at the get-go that this was
going to be part of a TV segment.
